About our corporate fish and chip catering in Aldgate
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and summer staff parties.
Around Aldgate, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Questions from Aldgate
Can the van park in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Aldgate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can the van come to Aldgate?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Aldgate is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you invoice the company?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
Aldgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planning a team lunch in Aldgate
Aldgate is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Aldgate. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
For colleagues arriving by train, London Fenchurch Street station is in Aldgate itself. Historic houses near Aldgate include Mansion House (0.5 miles west) and Dr Johnson's House (1.3 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles.
For staff events in E1, EC2A and SE1, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. Local streets include Bush Lane, Swan Lane and Mark Lane; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. You will find Aldgate on the A3 and A10, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. If your venue is just outside Aldgate, we also cover Spitalfields (1 mile north-east), Bishopsgate (1 mile north-west), Tower Hill (1 mile south), Whitechapel (1 mile north-east) and City of London (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (15 miles west).

What else we do in Aldgate
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Events in Aldgate and across Greater London
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Aldgate, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
